(off-topic rant) I wish they would set the list reply to the list address instead of the poster address. Half the traffic on this topic (and I suspect most topics) end up off list, because people think they are replying to the list. I'm guilty of doing that. And yes I know all the arguments against doing that, but all responses to a list posting (except personal attacks, etc) should go back to the list for everyone to share. It SHOULD be more difficult to respond off-list than on-list. I've recieved about 10 replies off-list defining CHT1 -- thank you all though.

The whole purpose of having new equipment is to take advantage of the software and firmware upgrades which are no longer being provided for the EOL'd 4000 series. In addition, I have been running version 7.2.3 for maybe a year and half at the other location on 16 T1's which are also plain channelized T1 (CHT1 for those lovers of TLA's and FLA's :). Those units have been totally bulletproof. Admittedly, it is a different switch, but essentially the same type of lines. I'm intrigued by Suzie Ward's comment that version 9 may have some fix for "this". I don't mind going to version 9 if I just knew what "this" is. I don't think my problem is related to any type of overload on the telco, because calls were coming in successfully on the WAN1 and WAN2 at the same time all calls were failing on WAN3 and WAN4. Moving the T1's from WAN3 and WAN4 to a Max4000 also cleared up the problem. I'm down to only one T1 coming into WAN1 on the new 6096 now and I am still seeing the error messages in the radius log, but very rarely, like 1 to 4 per hour. Its impossible to say if those error messages have the solid high-tone pitch associated with them, but I would say it is very likely. Maybe its time to get a Lucent engineer on the phone. (cringing at the thought of dealing with Lucent "support").
